Chapter 177: Pirates

Quanzhou is usually not so lively during the New Year, the huge team of caravans into the city is seen by everyone, this time the businessman is like smelling blood, the prefect's yamen, the military camp gate is inquiring about the news every day, this is the imperial court is going to completely open the sea ban, Chen Minqiang is annoyed, their Chen family is the local representative force, but he can't get a little news, the newly formed patrol army is not under his control, the people are the central special army, there is the emperor's order, his order is similar to fart.

Lin Hai is very smart, he has already laid the groundwork for today, the caravan from outside sent an invitation today, and when he saw the signature, he thought he was mistaken, the person in charge was actually a woman, and the man would not have the name Pepe.

At the door of the barracks, he met Chen Minqiang, who was also holding an invitation, the two looked at each other and smiled hand in hand, there were three people in the room, the woman sitting on the main seat should be Pei Peipei on the invitation, the Quanzhou inspection they both knew each other, the young man who closed his eyes and recuperated They hadn't seen it, Cao Feng sat in the lower hand and the remaining two chairs were prepared for the two of them. What they don't know is that Cao Feng and Pei Peipei are willing to be green leaves, he doesn't have any feelings for Pei Peipei, he believes in Xiucai.

Pei Peipei said: "Lord Chen may not be familiar with me, but I sent you the wine last time, Lin Gongzi is indeed the first time to meet, today I invite the two of you to come over because the two can represent the merchant forces of Fujian Road and Quanzhou, we have just arrived in your land, not to fight for territory, but to bring business opportunities to the merchants of Quanzhou." ”

Chen Minqiang said: "We can also guess the purpose of the girl coming with so many goods, you want to go to sea!" The imperial court's order to go to sea is vague, and I, as the prefect of Quanzhou, do not dare to openly oppose the official documents promulgated by the imperial court. ”

Lin Hai said: "What Lord Chen wants to ask is exactly what I want to ask, the Lin family has secretly taken a few boats in the coastal area of Fujian Road for nearly a hundred years, and it is the first time to see such a large amount of goods as a girl, and the girl is not afraid that she will not even be able to recover the capital?" ”

Pei Peipei said: "The total value of the goods we brought this time is five million yuan after the sale of the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know if the two of you have done such a big business, our owner said, the income brought back this time is not five to ten times, and all of us will be dismissed." ”

The two of them smacked their tongues secretly, this person is so big-mouthed, five million yuan and five times the profit is twenty-five million yuan, all the assets of the Chen family add up to not so much, what people do is called business, and what they do is small business.

Lin Hai said: "Miss Pei still didn't explain the question raised by Lord Chen just now, no one in Fujian Road and Quanzhou has taken out so many goods from the girl at one time, but this little cargo of the girl is nothing when we join forces!" ”

Pei Peipei said with a smile: "I will answer one of these two questions, Cao Patrol will answer one, and I will answer the ban of the imperial court, you two are also extremely smart people, didn't you think that so many goods could reach Quanzhou from Luoyang, thousands of miles away, without the consent of the imperial court, this caravan is an experiment of the imperial court on overseas commerce, do you understand?" ”

Chen Minqiang thought to himself how much power it would take to achieve such a feat, but he didn't blindly believe it, he still needed more information to verify, the big policy was what he was most concerned about, and the opinions of the imperial court determined the direction of the merchants, so he shifted his gaze to Cao Feng, waiting for Cao Feng to answer the pirate's question.

"Lord Chen and Lin Gongzi still didn't calm down, the two of us are appeasing the local businessmen today, giving you a reassuring pill, and you will see things that make you dare not believe your vision in a few days, I came to Quanzhou, including the training of this thousand patrol troops, are all to escort Miss Pei, the results of our training, Lord Chen, you know very well, I didn't think about who was their opponent at sea."

Chen Minqiang exclaimed: "Impossible, since ancient times, there have been no soldiers of the imperial court to escort the merchants, even if the emperor agrees, the Zhongshu Sect will not agree, this is also too absurd, Cao Patrol This is not convincing." ”

Cao Feng said with a smile: "It is worthy of the prefect, the key to smell and finding problems is to be different from ordinary people, this problem cannot be explained to you by the two of us, the person I told you will arrive soon, he may be in a good mood that day, and he will give you a reasonable explanation, and then tell you a secret that is not a secret, and now the caravan brought by Miss Pei is his." ”

Lin Hai said: "Then can our local businessmen take a ride on the sea this time?" ”

Pei Peipei said: "I don't plan to let you follow us on a risk this time, but you can let people follow us, it is profitable, and next time you can form a caravan by yourself, if it is not profitable, then it will be as if today's incident did not happen." ”

Lin Hai said: "You can do it yourself, you make your own money, monopolize overseas trade, I think you have the strength, why give us a piece of cake to eat?" ”

Pei Peipei said: "The money in the world is inexhaustible for one person, our owner said that this is economics, I don't understand, you and I stand in the perspective of making money, he is not, he stands in the position of the Great Song Dynasty to consider the problem, we and he are not at the same level." ”

Lin Haidao: "Then your host is here, can we visit?" ”

Pepe said: "We are subordinates, he is our head of the family, Lin Gongzi thinks that the subordinates can make decisions for the master?" Let's wait until he comes! He said that you can see you wherever you go, but he said no, and it doesn't matter who comes. ”

Dongsha Islands is so small that you will ignore it if you don't pay attention, a few shirtless strong men drank wine with heavy faces, and a man with a terrifying knife wound on his face said: "Boss He, when will the five ships of the imperial court in Quanzhou and those well-trained soldiers leave, some time ago, the bald eagle robbed a merchant ship and was chased by them and all the corpses sank into the sea, and the brothers don't dare to go out to fight the autumn wind now, you give me a word, how to get it." ”

He Ajiu said: "I said what to do, did you listen to what I said?" At that time, the brothers were forced to come out and beg for food, I said that everyone charged some tolls for the boats, which was enough for us to spend all day drinking, and we couldn't do murder and robbery, our parents, wives and children were still on the shore, and they were fine at first, but what about the back? I kill people at every turn, and now that I'm in trouble, what can I do, let it be fate! ”

A thin man with narrow eyes and a treacherous face said: "Brother Jiu, we also want to listen to you, you know that those people under your hand saw the gold, silver and jewelry, their eyes were red, and they were out of control after the first time, and now that the matter is out, everyone will discuss a way together."

He Ajiu said: "Yao Tang, I can't think of any good way, let's avoid the edge for the time being!" Our ship has no advantage in front of their building ship, and we can't beat it and can't escape, so let's wait until the wind is over! ”

Scar Qiang said: "Brother Jiu, I'm afraid this won't work, so many brothers and families are waiting for dinner?" We have no capital to trade, it seems that there is a lot of harvest, and you can't eat for a few days, and there are yellow-haired ghosts who say that in the past two days, there is a fat sheep from far away who went to Bianjing to see the emperor, and we all did him together, and I didn't worry about food and clothing for a lifetime. ”

"You dare to think about it, even if you succeed in robbery, what can you do, it is full of tribute, who dares to ask for it outside, at that time, the goods will not only rot in your hands, but also risk killing your head, I won't do it, I'll follow Brother Jiu." An elegant middle-aged man said that he was the only one among these people who had ever read a book, and everyone called him a poor and sour student.

A woman with a mask said: "I will not participate in this matter, I will hide the boat after I go back today, I will not come out if the officers and soldiers do not leave, I have more women and children, I still have the food I grow, I have no ambition who will do it." ”

The only woman among the five, the pirates all call her the Poison Beauty, her number of shots is the least among these people, and the others occasionally send a kindness and let some people go, the ship that the Poison Beauty is eyeing has never missed, and there is no one alive after the raid, although everyone looks down on her as a woman, but no one underestimates her.

He Ajiu said: "Scar, you and Yao Tang have their own ideas, just do it!" I don't participate with the reader and Wu Niang, and I may stumble a little bit in my daily life, but here I still have to advise the two of you to do it yourself. ”

"Phew, call him Brother Jiu really treats himself as a green onion, bad water, the two of us are united, after eating this ticket, we can't go there, he He Lao Jiu is a ball, and Wu Niang, look at his figure, the taste in bed must be very delicious, one day I must get her to bed, let her moan under me, see if she still pretends to be high."

Yao Tang said: "This brother supports you, she gave you a big gift as a lady of the village, and my brother gave you a big gift, ensuring that she would pose whatever she wanted in bed, you and I sent someone to keep an eye on the movements of the fat sheep, and we will do it when there is a suitable opportunity, there are so many islands here, I just drill there I don't believe that the officers and soldiers can find him." ”

Scar Qiang said: "The little brother said goodbye first, and my brother is waiting for my good news." Yao Tang looked at Scarqiang's back and sneered, and he knew the meaning.

The scholar said to the poisonous beauty: "Wu Niang, why don't you participate this time, I almost couldn't hold it just now, I heard the news, it's true, they come from a distant place, and killing them is in vain." ”

"Didn't you just say that no one wants tribute, I'm still fighting for what to do, and there is no shortage of money to spend on our island."

The scholar smiled and said: "I lied to those two fools, the first time they came to the Great Song Dynasty, what kind of tribute is there, this is called rebellious psychology, if you don't let them go, they will have to go, Brother Jiu, do you say yes." ”

He Ajiu said: "Someone warned me that whoever comes out in the last few months will definitely die. ”
